Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
The Glasgow coma scale was developed in 1974, and it consists of three parts of the neurologic assessment: eye opening, best motor response, and best verbal response. This patient gets a 4 for eye opening, a 2 for incomprehensible speech, and a 6 for moving on demand.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Fund of knowledge is tested by questions such as Who is the president? or asking about current events.
